Six-race maiden; progressive form last term but has moved in the opposite direction this season and latest start (1m2f here; soft ground no excuse) was easily his worst, having been gelded; plenty to prove, even though there's also a fair bit to suggest this drop back in trip will help.

His last win was 12 months ago but that was off 4lb higher in a division of this race; has had some ups and downs this season but he was runner-up over C&D in July and things didn't go his way from wide draw here last time; handles most ground and has possibilities on this big drop back in grade.

All three AW starts have come on the Kempton Polytrack, winning a 7f novice last November and going very close in two 1m handicaps this year, the latest when beaten a short head and a nose into third of 12 last month; only 1lb higher and major player if as effective on Tapeta.
